La carta de Derechos Fundamentales y la ciudadanía europea

Abstract

This paper proposes a reflection about the possible contribution of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (Niza 2000) to the design of a European citizenship. Beyond its legal scope, the Charter may be considered as a useful collection of principles and values in order to establish a civic, not ethnic or cultural, conception of the European identity and to configure a kind of an open citizenship from a cosmopolitan point of view.
